how to reset hit counts for SD-WAN rules?

[ICT_Putte]

We are using a Fortigate 100F with firmware 7.2.2. 

Is there a way to reset the hit counts for specific SD-WAN rules? 

After some searching in the guides and the forum I found info to reset the hit counts for the policy rules but uptil now no luck in resetting the hit counts for the SD-WAN rules.

Can some of the guru's here help me or point me in the right direction? 

Thanks in advance

Hi @ICT_Putte ,

Welcome to the community.

Can you, please, try  diag firewall proute list  and then   clear hit_count using the policy route ID from ‘proute list’ ?

Hi @ICT_Putte , 

Here are the steps: 

1. Run the command 'diag firewall proute list '

2. Look for the relevant sdwan rule:

id=2130706435(0x7f000003) vwl_service=3(test)
source(1): 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
destination(1): 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
hit_count=179316 last_used=2022-10-20 13:04:57

3. Run the following command: 

2130706435 is id for this sdwan rule

diagnose firewall proute clear 2130706435

4. Result: 

id=2130706435(0x7f000003) vwl_service=3(test)
source(1): 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
destination(1): 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
hit_count=0 last_used=2022-10-20 13:05:58

Hope this helps. 

Thank you.

Hi @aionescu and @sagha 

Thanks for the info. With it I managed to clear the hit count.

I noticed some strange behaviour thou (maybe a bug in the firmware version I'm using?):

When I used the command with a specific id of a sdwan rule it didn't work.

'diag firewall proute clear <id nummer> ' didn't gave an error but it also didn't clean the hit count.

If I gave the same command without the id nummer it cleared all the hitcounts of all the rules (as expected).

The firmware I'm using v7.2.2 build 1255.

With kind regards.
